[[File:giant_animals_preview.png|right]]'''Giant animals''' are variants of normal [[creature|animals]], characterized by simply being much larger, and appearing in [[savage]] biomes. Giant animals are based on all kinds of animals, ranging from [[giant thrips|the smallest of vermin]] to [[giant sperm whale|the largest of beasts]], from [[giant hare|peaceful grazers]] to [[giant lion|ferocious predators]]. The main exception to this are the [[domestic animal]]s – there is no giant [[turkey]]. Creatures with no basis in reality are also exempt from becoming giant animals.

'''Giant animals''' are variants of normal [[creature|animals]], characterized by simply being much larger, and appearing in [[savage]] biomes. Giant animals are based on all kinds of animals, ranging from [[giant thrips|the smallest of vermin]], to [[giant sperm whale|the largest of beasts]]; from [[giant hare|peaceful grazers]], to [[giant lion|ferocious predators]]. The main exception to this are the [[domestic animal]]s - there is no giant [[turkey]]. Creatures with no base in reality are also exempt from becoming giant animals.
  
 
Both the largest creature in the game, the [[giant sperm whale]], and the largest land creature, the [[giant elephant]], are giant animals. Other giant animals, such as the [[giant orca]], [[giant rhinoceros]], [[giant elephant seal]] and [[giant walrus]], are still larger than the fort-threatening monsters that are [[megabeast]]s, [[titan]]s and [[forgotten beast]]s.

The rule in ''Dwarf Fortress'' is that a giant creature should be at least as large as a [[grizzly bear]], even if it's a giant version of a small insect. As the real-world creatures approach grizzly bear size, and then beyond, a curve is applied, so that the largest ones are only roughly twice as large in every dimension as their counterpart. Giant whales are very, very large, but they are just eight times as massive as a normal whale, rather than the kind of scaling you see when you go from a spider to a giant spider.
+
Three giant animals are called ”gigantic” instead of ”giant” to avoid confusion with real-life creatures. They are the [[gigantic panda]], [[gigantic squid]] and [[gigantic tortoise]]. The [[giant tortoise]] and [[giant grouper]] are not technically giant animals, despite having "giant" in their names.

Giant animals have existed since the [[Release_information#2D_Version|2D days of Dwarf Fortress]]. Initially, the only giant animals were [[23a:giant bat|giant bat]]s, [[23a:giant cave spider|giant cave spider]]s, [[23a:giant cheetah|giant cheetah]]s, [[23a:giant leopard|giant leopard]]s, [[23a:giant lion|giant lion]]s, [[23a:giant mole|giant mole]]s, [[23a:giant rat|giant rat]]s, [[23a:giant tiger|giant tiger]]s, and [[23a:giant toad|giant toad]]s. The [[23a:giant desert scorpion|giant desert scorpion]] was also one of these.

More giant animals were added up until sometime during [[v0.31:Release_information|0.31]], when creature variations were added. After this, any new giant animal was added as a creature variant. Several new giant animals came with [[v0.34:release_information|0.34.01]], due to the animals of the [[main:animal sponsorship drive|animal sponsorship drive]] receiving giant variants.
